Northern Alfalfa and Red Clover are sure to be short this 
year. If you have a field, try and save some seed. ‘The 
country needs it. 

OE A ae 
Sometimes we advise you to. buy seeds early to save money. 
Since most Field Seeds are close to O, P. A, ceilings now, you 
may not save much money by buying this fall, but it will 
mean you will have seed next spring when you want it. 
Many of your neighbors won’t be able to get the kind of seed 
they want next spring at any price. 
Re ie AR Te 
Last Sept. in this column [I teld you the gov’t had indi- 
eated it wanted a lot of seed for Lend Lease. Later Russia 
came thru with requests for 20 million lbs of Alfalfa. Great 
Britain wanted 7 million Ibs. of Red Clover. Shipping seed 
is a cheaper way for us than furnishing the finished prod- 
uct in beef and hogs. But we didn’t have enough clover and 
Alfalfa for ourselves, and our Allies didn’t get any. We have 
less seed in prospect and bigger demands at home and abroad. 
I say, figure out next spring’s seed needs now. Send Henry 
Field a check at our fall opening prices and you will be tak- 
ing out insurance at no extra cost on your seed needs,

Read the article on Brome grass Henry put in this issue. There’s a grass that should be 
on every farm. You can’t beat it for heavy-yields, palatability, feeding value and hardi- 
ness, Fall is an ideal time to sow it.

With livestock prices as high as they are, you can’t afford to be without plenty of hay 
and pasture and that’s just what Brome grass will give you.

And mentioning pastures, our special Fall Pasture Mixture is especially made of grasses 
that should be sowed this fall. Sow clovers on it next spring and you'll have a perfect 
permanent pasture. One bushel will sow 4 acres.

-Henry’s Pasture Mix 
SEAS Re aie 
For the best combination of five perma- 
nent grasses for fall planting, mixed in 
just the right proportions to give lots of 
feed and pasture on all soil types, use our 
FALL PASTURE MIX. 
Next spring if you want to, you can add 
additional clovers to the fall planting of 
the grasses to give you the additional 
combination of clovers and grasses to- 
gether. Because the grasses will do best 
fall planted now, we recommend that you 
sow 1 bu. on 3 to 4 acres if alone, or if 
you intend to sow clovers on in the spring, 
sow 1 bu. to 5 acres, : 
You will be sure to like the Fail Pas- 
ture Mix. It comes quick and is green all 
summer and permanent. 
Going to Be Short on 
Hybrid 3 
Everybody is going to be short on Hy- 
brid. It’s been a late, tough year, and 
most growing areas are reporting only an 
80 percent seed crop—some less. That’s 
serious, and you can imagine what a 
scramble there’s going to be next spring 
when all the later-buyers try to get seed. 
Lots of farmers aren’t going to be able 
to get Hybrid, and many will have to take 
second choice numbers and grades. 
Have always tried to be square with my 
customers and let them know in advance 
what the seed situation is. And my best 
advice this fall is to order Hybrid, or at 
least reserve it, right away. 

Plant Brome A Fall 
Be sure to make that extra planting 
of Brome Grass this fall. There isn’t a 
better time. In fact, you gain a head 
start_by planting now and the Brome 
will come through for you for hay and 
pasture next year. Brome simply can’t 
be beat for hay and pasture, and can be 
planted by itself, or by combination 
seeding with Alfalfa. Plant Brome on 
a firm well packed seedbed, figuring 15 
or 20 lbs. per acre. With Alfalfa use 12 
to 15 lbs. of Brome, and 4 lbs. of Al- 
falfa. No danger of bloat on a pasture 
of this combination, and at the same 
time the Alfalfa helps add nitrogen to 
the soil to increase the tonnage yield of 
the Brome Grass for years to come. 
Remember that Brome Grass greens 
up first in the spring, yields two to three 
times as much as bluegrass, stops ero- 
sion, and is drought resistant and winter 
hardy. It is more palatable, and higher 
in protein than any other grass. All of 
our brome is extra high quality, free of 
noxious weeds, and high germination. 
The best No. 1 Northern grown seed on- 
ly $17.95 per 100 lbs. and ready for 
prompt shipment. 
When you seed Brome in the fall, sow 
before October 10th, or after that date, 
wait until just before freezing up. Harly 
sowed Brome gets a good growth before 
freezing while the late sowed Brome 
doesn’t start until the first thing in the 
spring. Cover the seed about 4 to % 
inch deep. Harrow in lightly and roll 
with cultipacker.
